As large language models (LLMs) are widely deployed, identifying their vulnerability through jailbreak attacks becomes increasingly critical. Optimization-based attacks like Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG) have focused on inserting adversarial tokens to the end of prompts. However, GCG restricts adversarial tokens to a fixed insertion point (typically the prompt suffix), leaving the effect of inserting tokens at other positions unexplored. In this paper, we empirically investigate \emph{slots}, i.e., candidate positions within a prompt where tokens can be inserted. We find that vulnerability to jailbreaking is highly related to the selection of the \emph{slots}. Based on these findings, we introduce the \textit{Vulnerable Slot Score} (VSS) to quantify the positional vulnerability to jailbreaking. We then propose SlotGCG, which evaluates all slots with VSS, selects the most vulnerable slots for insertion, and runs a targeted optimization attack at those slots. Our approach provides a position-search mechanism that is attack-agnostic and can be plugged into any optimization-based attack, adding only 200ms of preprocessing time. Experiments across multiple models demonstrate that SlotGCG significantly outperforms existing methods. Specifically, it achieves 14\% higher Attack Success Rates (ASR) over GCG-based attacks, converges faster, and shows superior robustness against defense methods with 42\% higher ASR than baseline approaches.
